Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Fun, Not a Financial Solution

At BetMGM Sports Betting Canada, we believe that sports betting should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling is never a reliable way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

Age Requirements

Sports betting in Canada is only available to individuals who are 18 years of age or older in most provinces, or 19 years or older in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and the Northwest Territories. BetMGM is committed to preventing underage gambling. By using this website, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction.

If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:

• Gambling with money you cannot afford to lose
• Repeatedly trying to win back losses (chasing losses)
• Spending more time or money on gambling than intended
• Hiding gambling activities or betting amounts from family and friends
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling
• Neglecting work, school, family, or personal relationships due to gambling
• Borrowing money or accumulating debt to gamble
• Lying about the extent of your gambling involvement
